Nintendo announced Splatoon 3 will launch for the Nintendo Switch on September 9, alongside a new trailer that features a look at the Turf War gamemode.

View the release date trailer below:

Here is an overview of the game:

Enter the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. Splatsville, the city of chaos, is the adrenaline-fueled heart of this dusty wasteland.

Even in this desolate environment, Turf War reigns supreme and battles rage in new stages located in the surrounding wilds. Dynamic new moves help these fighters dodge attacks and cover more ground, along with a new bow-shaped weapon to sling ink.

Join Agent 3 in a fight against the unruly Octarians in story mode. Discover the secrets of Alterna, the Fuzzy Ooze, and how they connect to the mode's theme, "Return of the Mammalians.”

Team up and fend off waves of dangerous Salmonid bosses in the next iteration of Salmon Run, a co-op mode with fresh new features.

And better to be able to enjoy the game rather than feeling guilty about devs crunching.

A little disappointed. I'm looking forward to Xenoblade and Splatoon, but I was hoping for Splatoon sooner than later. Oh well. Only a few more months.
